There's a Herbert Hoover Square in Poznań and in Leuven, Belgium.
Possibly one near the Herbert Hoover high school in Charleston, West
Virginia. Just one reference in the local newspaper. May be an
unofficial name near the school.
See this link for why these European squares are named for Hoover. I
didn't know. He was a popular guy here in 1928 but not in 1932.

I generally liked your photos but nothing jumped out at me other than
the decidedly architectural shots. I always like good architecture.
